re; maria mckee..theres that one album on geffen,, not a a bad song on it, a bud of mine tony furguson worked with her, managment or something, said she was a v cool artist, and in essence one of the good ones, after you posted it i dusted of the album,,stills sounds good,,,,
@shirl I've got this on Ruby Trax, it was a 3 CD album from the NME, it was in aid of charity and was celebrating 40 years of the Charts. 1952-1992..It featured 40 different artists' cover versions of British number 1's....There's about 10 tracks on it that I adore..the rest isn't so good. This I find an incredible cover of the song which drove everyone mad back in 1991..I really don't know how it stayed at no. 1 for that long...The Fly by U2 finally knocked it off the top spot...Thank God!
@kingofmen 16 weeks at number 1...the entire summer ....I believe there was a lot of Van Gogh style ear injuries at A & E during that summer...'I just can't take it anymore.....slash!!!'

So much better than the original. Love Fatima Mansions, particularly the "Viva Dead ponies" album.

@AndyWilkinson It certainly betters the original by a mile, but I don't know if this version will be such a hit at weddings :)
